Apparently Johnny Marr had a bit of a scare this week with UPS and his guitars.

I have a sneaking suspicion that these kind of threads are started by Russian bots, now that the Kremlin has decided to further undermine NATO by sewing the seeds of cultural conflict amongst its' bass players. We seem to fall for it every time, me included. Getting back to the O.P, I wouldn't play Fela Kuti covers because I don't like that music played by Fela Kuti, let alone anyone else especially me. But if for whatever reason I did fancy having a go I would, wearing whatever ethnic-inspired outfit I felt like wearing and other folks would be free to like it or lump it. The whole thing is ridiculous. If Slade came out today Noddy Holder would be accused of culturally appropriating a garden gnome. Whatever oppressed peoples in the world anyone is being offended on behalf of, they are unlikely to be further harmed by someone playing their popular music, probably badly. No Biafrans will be napalmed as a result of your dalliance with afro beat. These bourgeois anxieties are a symptom of having too much time to think up things to think about.

You'd be less tired if you used your Hofner bass a bit more. ...

There’s A Hole In My Bucket - Harry Belafonte and Odetta

Fixing A Hole - Beatles

Another from our old set list and one we also recorded as a demo.

Hole In My Life - The Police

Ach you'll be fine. Get the youngsters to do all the hard work. 😂 I do most of the heavy lifts in the Glam band. Dave

PA subs go as much as an octave lower than bass cabs, while PA mains don't have the rising midrange typical of bass cabs. Try high passing the desk bass channel at 60 to 80Hz, if it has that capability, or cutting back on the bass EQ if it doesn't, while boosting the mids in the 2 to 2.5kHz range. If you want to be more precise get this app for your phone. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dom.audioanalyzer&hl=en_US&pli=1 You can use it to see the frequency response of your rig. Play an open A and take a picture of the result, C weighting, slow response. Save it and compare it to the same test through the PA. Comparing the two will show where the PA EQ needs to be adjusted.

Wow, have i really had my ‘76 this long? To think how many instruments couriers have lost and broken in that time, it’s truly scary!

As per the title, I used to be able to upload any photo and multiple photos in posts but recently I am getting file exceeds xxxx kb error messages when I never did before. Has the site changed its policy in regards file uploads?

Yup 😁

Ooh, I'll happily take that comparison - thank you most kindly!

Here you go. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/517597-feeler-me-90b-boxed-with-bluetooth-adapter/

Agreed. If you look at high end violins, on which the flamed maple arched backs are hand carved and (almost invariably) book-matched, you'll see exactly the same

Ace with spades. Motorhead

I would recommend this unit too. I have one and it's very easy to use, works like a selection of stomp boxes if you leave it in manual mode, no need to hook it up to a computer to unleash its potential. There's one for sale on here right now for a good price too.

Friday!

Well enjoy the Musk Reform alliance. The right wing have the backing and the numbers. I just hope that people don’t fall for it and can put their differences aside. I don’t believe any billionaires or tech giants have my interest at heart. Back in the day they just asset stripped companies. They now have their sights set on entire countries and are using every trick in the book to achieve their goals (including divide and conquer). Personally I am making plans to vacate if it happens. Anyhow it’s going off track so I will bow out

Think Boss do a cover less the foot switch portion. Joyo Ironman with the knob flap are cool and dinky...
